Star singers bring blessings and hope to the Wetzlar district center!

On January 6, 2025, the star singers from the Catholic parish “Our Lady” Wetzlar visited the district hall in Wetzlar. The group consisted of four children and young people who recited the story of the birth of Jesus and the three kings with poems and songs. District Administrator Carsten Braun welcomed the star singers and presented them with a donation. He thanked the star singers for their visit and their commitment to working for a fairer world.

As part of their visit, the star singers affixed the blessing “20*C+M+B*25” to the district building. The letters C, M, B stand for the Latin saying “Christus mansionem benedicat”, which means “Christ bless this house”. The Sternsinger campaign is launched annually by the children's mission organization, with the children collecting donations for aid projects in third world countries. This year the donations collected will go to Kenya and Colombia.

Aid projects in Kenya and Colombia

In the Turkana region of Kenya, children have limited access to schools and medical care. The partner organization of the children's missionary organization is locally committed to children's rights to health, nutrition and education. In Colombia, the project partners are dedicated to the protection, education and participation of children, while also offering programs for peace education and participation. Loud sternsinger.de Every year, the Dreikönigssingen campaign is dedicated to a thematic focus and an example country in order to get to know the living situation of children better. The donations collected are used not only for aid projects in the example country, but worldwide.

Some parishes would like to support specific projects in order to encourage people to donate. Project ideas can also be proposed independently, provided they meet the approval criteria of the procurement committee, which meets four times a year.
